How You Can Help

There’s nothing more important and visionary than planting trees. Be part of this historical effort to restore a species. Help heal the environment. TACF offers many ways to get involved, all of which feel great!

Our mission is to return the iconic American chestnut to its native range.

The return of the American chestnut to its former niche in the Appalachian hardwood forest ecosystem is a major restoration project that requires a multi-faceted effort involving members and volunteers, research, sustained funding, and most importantly, a sense of the past and hope for the future.
